Tasting notes
Full ruby-red. Aromas of cassis, licorice and fresh herbs, complemented by notes of espresso and roasted earth. Sweet, plush and deep, with a distinct mineral character adding class and grip to the creme de cassis, black cherry and licorice flavors. For all its medicinal reserve and structure, this very long wine boasts a captivating creaminess of texture.

Longtime winemaker Chris Carpenter crafts the Lokoya wines from mountain sites across four Napa Valley appellations. These Cabernet Sauvignons from Lokoya show four very different facets of the vintage. The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain is rich and powerful even if it is a bit compact. Layers of blue and black fruit, graphite, minerals, smoke and pencil shavings come together in this intense Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2010 is quite pretty, but it also shows the limitations of the cold vintage on this part of Diamond Mountain.
